Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

QWhen should I start looking for a home in Japan?

AIt is customary to decide on the move-in date within a month from the date you apply for a property. However, during the busy season from January to March, many properties tend to get taken so quickly. So it may take several months before you can move into a property with high demand. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have a clear idea of the dates and areas where you want to move in, and to start looking for a room two months in advance, especially if it coincides with during the season with high demand. On the other hand, if you avoid the busy season, there are more promotional offers such as rent-free (no rent) or no required deposits or key money. You will have more time to prepare for the move-in date.

QI don’t have a certificate of residence in Japan; can I still sign a lease agreement?

AWhen you apply, please submit your passport, driver’s license, employment certificate, and proof of income (e.g., tax withholding certificate) as proof of identification. At the time of application, you may be asked to submit a certificate of residence or a certificate of signature at the Japanese embassy or consulate, instead of only a certificate of residence.

QWhen can I pick up the keys when I arrive in Japan?

AWe will deliver the keys to your new home to a specified location of your choice on the previous morning of the day you plan to move in.

QDo I need a guarantor?

AIt depends on the property. But in recent years, it has become customary to apply to a gurarantor company instead of using a personal gurarantor. In this case, you do not need to rely on a family member or a friend. You only need to provide emergency contact information of your residence in Japan.

QCan I start using water, gas, and electricity once I move in?

AWe will do all the necessary paperwork to start the water, gas, and electricity services according to your preferred date, free of charge. Of course you can use them from the day you move in.
